About 6th Floor Blog

6th Floor Blog is written in a conversational style. It focuses on the life and adventures of six roommates living in an apartment together in Manhattan. For our first post and a explanation for the colors, go here.

Scott gets a plate and a fork out of the cabinets and walks over to the chocolate cake sitting on the counter to have a slice when Tabitha walks up behind him and snatches the fork from him.

“You can’t eat Sara’s cake before she gets home!”

“Did I hear cake?” Billy asks, strolling out of his room with his nose in the air. “Smells good.”

“Have you been home this entire time? We just assumed you were working when you didn’t show up when the apartment started smelling like chocolate cake.”

“Nope, working tonight. I just assumed I was having a chocolate cake craving, I didn’t really think you were baking on a Monday!”

“Is Monday a non-baking day?”

“Isn’t that why most bakeries are closed on Mondays? It must be a bad day for baking.”

“This cake smells good at least, so maybe Tabitha’s the exception to the rule.”

“Why is it Sara’s cake, and why can’t I have any?”

“We’re celebrating that she found a new job. She’s off getting her physical and drug screen right now.”

She’ll be back in time for dinner though right? We were going to watch the Mets game tonight since the Yankees are off.”

“Probably, it’s just a physical. She had to go to Jersey City for it though.”

Sara walks in just then.

“She’s early! Surprise Sara! Cake!”

“I thought something smelled good.”

“So you got a new job? Where? Doing what? Are you going to start paying for coffee again?”

“It’s in Jersey City, so I’ll have to play on the Path train everyday. It’s ..well I don’t really know what my job would be. Sorta tech support for some of their applications. Not a perfect job, but good enough for now. Well it’ll be at least three weeks before I get my first paycheck, so don’t expect me to pay for coffee before that!”

“Don’t I always? I’ve got the one we’re in together on Yahoo, and another Yahoo one.”

“I went overboard. I’ve got four Yahoo teams, and a Sporting News team. The Sporting News team is cool though because it’s a salary cap league, so you have to buy and sell players as they increase or decrease in value.”

“That’s neat. A little more strategy than just hoping you get to draft early to take A-Rod or Reyes.”

“Reyes? You have to take Hanley Ramirez over him don’t you?”

“Reyes had a bad year, Ramirez had a good year, and they were still very close in fantasy points in most leagues.” Sara says, sticking her tongue out at Frank.

“I actually agree, I think Reyes will do better than Hanley this year.”

“Speaking of fantasy baseball, you should check out SimYard.It’s a fantasy baseball management sim.”

“Management sim? Like Sim City sim?”

“Kind of, yeah. You got a roster full of randomly generated players, and then you play pick-up games in the park against other teams, and you can add to your roster. Every year, which is a month of real time, you can train your players and they get better and stuff. There are even playoffs. It’s kind of addicting.”

“So the games play themselves or something?”

“Well, you can micro-manage a little, but yeah. If you join a league and buy a stadium, you don’t even have to set up games, they start automatically on schedule.”

“Buy a stadium? So what, it schedules a 162 game season or something? Can I be the Yankees?”
